Will Zhu Yong continue the attack after his defeat, or wait for reinforcements? Zhang Ning cannot accurately judge, but he is more inclined to believe that Zhu Yong will choose to continue the attack; a person who was defeated by "strange | obscene tricks" rather than face absolute danger
Naturally, he will not be convinced by his strength advantage. Moreover, Zhu Yong is a noble person and thinks very highly of himself. He will not give in and be frustrated so easily. He will think that he has so many opportunities and possibilities to win, but he just made a mistake, so he still thinks
Try; not to mention that men are born gamblers. Once they are lucky enough to lose, they will think about winning back everything they lost.
Of course, this is just Zhang Ning's own speculation. All he has to do is wait patiently and hope that Zhu Yong will not give in so easily. Otherwise, it will obviously be a disadvantage to attack the official camp with the strength of the Suzaku Army; or wait
With the arrival of official and military reinforcements, this will be a hopeless war of attrition. Yuezhou soldiers, Changsha soldiers... The Ming Dynasty had two capitals and thirteen provinces. Even if the main force of the capital camp was restrained by Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu, there was still almost enough to take away.
Inexhaustible war potential.
In this almost hopeless mentality, Zhang Ning actually felt a little happy. A pessimist suddenly found a unique happiness. Pessimism is not something Zhang Ning in this life belongs to. A small landowner living in a prosperous place in Jiangsu and Zhejiang has a chance.
People who study and gain fame are considered lucky even if their "parents" die young. Why would a lucky person be pessimistic? So Zhang Ning's mentality is brought about by "past lives", and the formation of personality has a great influence on adulthood.
, and Zhang Ning’s childhood in the Ming Dynasty was just a memory to him, like a story, which did not have much impact on him.
Looking back, when I was a child, my family was not so happy. There were always all kinds of troubles and difficulties, and I also experienced the loss of the people closest to me. Later, although I was a bit "promising" in the eyes of the neighbors, I still lived a hard and busy life.
But an ordinary life. Zhang Ning felt that his life was incomplete, even though he was a good, well-behaved and diligent person in the eyes of others. Finally, he had a chance, and the war unearthed his repressed interests.
...There is a "Zui Xian Building" behind the Gaodu County Government Office. The name sounds like it is a profit-making restaurant, but it is not. This building is next to the backyard of the County Government Office. It was the place occupied by the former magistrate.
It is used to receive ordinary guests. Its main function is to cook and eat. The former magistrate was obviously a person who knew how to enjoy himself.
But now he is recruited by Zhang Ning. He happens to be a person who cares about food very much. In his previous life, cooking was almost his only spare time activity. He can relax in it without wasting time, because people always have to cook and eat when they are alive.
, and he is not someone who can hire a nanny. The reason why he is willing to live in Zuixian Tower is very simple. The kitchen here is very big; ordinary kitchens are not so good. People in the country say that food is their first priority, but the kitchen is always
It's being looked down upon in a corner.
The war is not over yet, victory has not really come, and the generals and officials are not interested in celebrating, but this does not stop Zhang Ning from celebrating in private. His way is to cook a dinner himself. Of course, he is not the only one, but also
The Peach Blossom Fairy and Xu Wenjun beside him are far away from the kitchen. If a powerful person cooks, he will be considered as having no ambition, which is not a good thing. But Zhang Ning doesn't care, because there are no outsiders around him.
Of course women wouldn't care about such a thing.
The dining area is in an exquisite living room. It was definitely not a dining room originally, but as long as a round table and a few stools are placed, it can be used as a dining room. The room is relatively small, but the former magistrate must have put a lot of effort into decorating it. There are patterns on the wall.
Famous paintings and works by famous calligraphers in history are used as decorations. They may be fakes, but they do not affect the elegant style; the bamboo curtains in front of the windows have carefully modified textures. It does not look luxurious here, but it has a natural elegance. Maybe it is the magistrate and the
A place where famous prostitutes and celebrities meet and chat.
Zhang Ning didn't care that it was small, but liked it even more. Maybe it was because of his inner habits. Of course he couldn't afford to live in a house as big as a palace before, so he felt at ease in such a small house.
The raw materials of the dishes do not need to be exotic, they are all very common things, but as long as they are cooked carefully, they can still be regarded as some good dishes. The ingredients of this era do not have pesticides, chemical fertilizers and feeds, and the environment is not polluted. As long as they are taken from ordinary farmers,
In Zhang Ning's opinion, they were all good ingredients. The fat and thin bacon was sliced thinly and arranged on a porcelain plate. The fat meat was crystal clear and the light yellow color looked delicious. It also exuded a rosy aroma, which was made with
The smell left behind when pine branches were smoked. There is also a dish of shiitake mushroom meat slices. The shiitake mushrooms come from the mountains, but ginger slices are put in this soup because Zhang Ning doesn’t like the light fishy smell of the meat itself... The fishy smell can make him
It reminds me of the blood, intestines, and limbs on the battlefield, which greatly affects my mood.
He is not a bloodthirsty person. The war gives him interest not in killing, but in itself. This is an indescribable excitement, just like an alcoholic walking into a pub. This thing itself can make him very happy.
;A person who is good at chess will feel very good as soon as he touches the chess pieces.
"Congratulations on Ping An's victory, and I wish you another victory over Zhu Yong's men in the future. I'll give you a toast." Peach Blossom Fairy picked up the glass cup and said with a smile.
For this dinner, she carefully applied light makeup on her face, modified the facial pattern on her left cheek, and put on a silk skirt. She looked very energetic. Perhaps in her mind, this was not just a meal.
meal.
"Borrow the fairy's good words." Zhang Ning responded gently.
Xu Wenjun said: "I don't drink, so I will drink tea instead of wine, and also congratulate my boss on his return after victory." After saying this, she started to get another cup.
Zhang Ning advised: "This is wine from the magistrate's warehouse. It's sweet. You might as well try it."
After hearing this, Xu Wenjun's face turned slightly red, and she stretched out her hand to gently pick up the glass cup filled with wine. Her hands were actually a bit rough, due to martial arts training and housework, but at this moment, her hand was between the crystal wine glass and the dark
The red wine-colored edges seemed to become as warm and moist as white jade under the gentle candlelight.
Women should be beautiful things. They naturally like elegant environments and the feeling of being valued. In other words, it may be called vanity. Zhang Ning observed that after cooking together, they all went back to the room to dress up carefully. Maybe they were very beautiful.
I like the atmosphere at the moment.
However, Zhang Ning felt that it was a bit pretentious at this time, although he didn't mind it. Seeing Xu Wenjun take a sip, he added: "Maybe it's wine made in Shanxi. It is said that the wine made from fruits is the best there."
At this time, the climate in Shanxi was still relatively humid and the greening was very good. It was better before the Song and Ming Dynasties. Hedong has always been a good place.
Xu Wenjun seemed to be embarrassed and said softly: "It is indeed sweet."
"This wine glass is very beautiful, and the local officials in Gaodu County are also very particular about it." Fairy Peach Blossom said with a smile.
Zhang Ning said: "There is a poem about a luminous cup for grape wine. Grape wine must be filled with a luminous cup, and the luminous cup is probably made of glass." As he talked, he played with the wine glass in his hand, thinking that he could call a craftsman when he had free time.
Re-create the shape of the goblet.
He also thought about why people are hypocritical. Maybe there is a kind of people like famous people who are self-proclaiming. But Zhang Ning is obviously not that kind of person. There is another kind. He gradually becomes numb and cannot be like many people at this point in life.
I feel the plain warmth and joy in every moment, so I have to act and do some more direct superficial efforts, which turns into hypocrisy.
He is a bit depressed and does not get happy easily, or ordinary things have no longer aroused interest, so that he finds it boring, so sometimes he will look for more exciting things. This is not uncommon among the ruling class, and the way most people do it is
Indulgence|desire|desire, arrogance|debauchery|eatness. For Zhang Ning, the most exciting thing is breaking the rules, because he has always been too rule-abiding in the past.
After dinner, this elegant way of getting along was quickly destroyed by Zhang Ning.
Before he went back to his room, he asked Fairy Peach Blossom to go over and get something. Fairy Peach Blossom might have guessed something, but she didn't refuse. Maybe Zhang Ning should choose Xu Wenjun, but Wenjun is a girl who has not experienced human affairs and is a bit childish, so it may be difficult to deal with it.
It's a little more troublesome.
As soon as the Peach Blossom Fairy entered the bedroom, her flexible waist and the outline of her buttocks revealed by her skirt immediately aroused Zhang Ning's desire. The occasional indulgence of desire would make him feel
It felt like being alive. The friendship between the two was not short, and Zhang Ning could see that this woman did not resist him.
Looking from the top of Zuixian Tower, the night view of the county government's inner house with building lights was right in front of him. It was a quiet night, and there was no trace of war on the surface. There was a thin drizzle in the night sky tonight, and he couldn't help but slowly
Recited a familiar poem: "The small building listens to the spring rain all night." What a warm night.
Peach Blossom Fairy was slightly intoxicated. Her upbringing was not good, but her father who died young was a Jinshi. She liked literary things very much, such as poems and songs. Zhang Ning gradually got closer and closer to her. She did not resist, let alone
Resistance. Women who have traveled through rivers and lakes are less bound by ethics and education, and it is indeed easy to win.
Zhang Ning looked at her sexy red lips that had been carefully painted with rouge, and asked her to use her mouth to pleasure him. Unexpectedly, the Peach Blossom Fairy refused, and was very embarrassed and angry...
"Who do you think I am?" Peach Blossom Fairy looked hurt.
This surprised Zhang Ning, thinking that using the tongue was not popular in ancient times. But Fang Ling also did this. Fang Ling was forced to be a brothel girl, but weren't she and the Peach Blossom Fairy sisters? Zhang Ning couldn't help it.
She said that she did not want to compare other women with the Peach Blossom Fairy at this time, which would make her even more angry.
He didn't answer Peach Blossom Fairy's question, he just said: "I'll lick yours too later."
"..." Her face was already as red as if she was drunk, "I... this is too much... I'm leaving first, please leave me alone."
Zhang Ning was stunned there. There was no way he could force this woman because his body was no match for her.
